MXOne - Firefighting turbine

Next generation fire fighting

MXOne, the high-performance extinguishing turbine represents a new generation of stationary firefighting systems. This unique system has a 360 ° operating range and enables the highly precise application of water mist from a safe and great distance. In the event of a fire, the water mist absorbs a huge amount of energy, cools particularly effectively, and reaches hidden fire sources better than classic monitors. It binds smoke gases, pollutants and odors and can spread rapidly and effectively across large areas without flushing away burning goods, as is the case with traditional fire monitors using bundled jets. Consequently, MXOne is ideally suited for protecting numerous industries and risk areas from specific fire risks inside or outside of buildings like never before

Design

Function

Positioning: MXOne is designed for use both inside and outside buildings. The extinguishing system can be installed on the ground or raised on a pole with a mounting frame.

Operating concept: MXOne is controlled and aligned fully automatically or manually by remote control. The operating concept offers a wide range of control options from stationary to mobile.

Effective range: The extinguishing turbine covers a large effective range. It can be tilted from -19° to +43°, has a rotation angle of 360° and a discharge range up to 75 m.

Detection: The fire is detected by infrared camera technology or by UniVario industrial fire detectors. The signal is forwarded to the connected fire alarm control panel.

Performance

Minimax engineers test MXOne in full-scale fire tests

A system that works – extensively tested

MXOne is not only a firefighting turbine. Rather, it is a complex high-performance suppression system that has had to prove its reliability in numerous tests. Minimax engineers have successfully optimized the system in full-scale fire tests for use in its application areas. Minimax knowhow in engineering, installation and service ensures that MXOne provides customers with a system that sets new standards in supporting fire protection.

Tests on a 1:1 scale

Not only successful fire trials using different representative flammable materials are part of the development of a suppression system. Minimax engineers also repeatedly test MXOne under various weather conditions and continuously incorporate practical experience into the further development of the system. Throw distances have already been increased significantly, and spray patterns have been optimized for use in various fire scenarios.

Extinguishing agent

MXOne can be operated with potable water, saltwater and with/without foam agent. This makes it possible to safely master a wide range of risk scenarios. The spray pattern ranges from a fine water mist to a full jet. The high-performance firefighting system reaches a flow rate of up to 4,000 liters per minute with a discharge range of up 75 m.

Technology

The turbine can be controlled and aligned fully automatically. Information from at least two fire detectors (e.g. UniVario industrial fire detectors or infrared cameras) is assessed in the fire detection control panel and the location of the source of the fire is accurately determined before MXOne is activated. Alternatively, manual control of the turbine is always feasible. Both stationary and mobile control variants can be implemented according to the operator's requirements.

Intelligent control allows a single turbine to target two or more adjacent areas in alternation with extinguishing water. This means that multiple fires can be fought in parallel, while nearby facilities threatened by fire can be specifically cooled at the same time.

Areas of use

Typical requirements for systems that are to be used in harsh, industrial environments: resilience, reliability and efficiency. MXOne fully meets these requirements and, despite its robust design, is easy to operate and requires little maintenance. Thanks to the turbine technology, MXOne achieves throw distances of up to 75 m, and is quickly and infinitely adjustable, both in terms of elevation and tilting angle. This means that the throw distance can be adjusted at any time. The fire suppression system can be used in areas with an ambient temperature of -25 °C to 60 °C (-13 °F to 140 °F).
